ENGLAND'S COLONIES.
How the Foreign Dependencies OF the
British Crown Are Governed.

How the Foreign Dependencies OF the
British Crown Are Governed.
The most powerful and prosperous of
England's foreign possessions have
become what VIC now see them within
4 century. India and Canada, indeed,
were already in British hands hun
dred wears ago; bue they were then in
significant in wealth and power COM
pared TO what they now are. 1t is just
about century since Australia, in
many respects the most int resting of
England's colonies. fell into her hands,
but the vast resources of that CONT
nent have only been utilized within the
past forty wears. At first, the English
used Australia solely rs a remote place
to which she could send. and where she
could safely keep. her criminals. Botany
Bay, for more than fifty years, was
convict settlement, where the felons
convicted of crime worked in gangs
and in chains, instead of being kept in
prison 1T home. But after awhile hon
est settlers made their appearance in
Australia. and about fifty years ago
convicts from the British jails ceased to
be sent to Botany Bay. 1t was in 1851
that the first trace of the marvellous
wealth which lay hidden in the interior
was found. One day native, with
his weapon. was scraping away some
grass. when he came upon a great
nugget of gold.
The total European population of
Australia, at the time this startling dis
covery was made, was only fifty thou
sand; in single year thereafter two
hundred and fifty thousand persons
swarmed across the oceans, TO seek for
the gold harvest which opened before
them. Then it became gradually
known that Australia had other treas
ures besides gold. Coal, copper and
tin were found in large quantities; and
the fertile lands beyond the ranges of
hills that encircled the coast afforded
fine grazing grounds for sheep. and
yielded plentiful crops of wheat and
other cereals. Australia now contains
five great English colonies, with as
many governments; and the European
population of the island is at least
three millions. The governments of
these colonies, though they are pre-
sided over by Governors appointed by
the English crown. are practically free
and much resemble that of the home
kingdom.
Another English colony of which we
hear great deal, is that planted at
the Cape of Good Hope, which is called
the Cape Colony" 1t came finally
